In this activity, learners will write a secret message that only their friends will be able to read.

In this activity, learners use water, oil, and food coloring to observe a chemical reaction that creates a shower of colors inside of a glass.

This quick demonstration (on page 11 of PDF) allows learners to understand why scientists think water ice could remain frozen in always-dark craters at the poles of the Moon.

In this activity, learners discover how solar energy can be used to heat water.

In this activity, learners explore how civil engineers solved the challenge of moving water via irrigation.

In this activity, learners build a "pneumatic trough," a laboratory apparatus used for collecting pure gas samples over water.

Perform this classic inertia demonstration to illustrate the transfer of potential energy to kinetic energy.

In this activity, learners build a simple electrolysis device. Then learners use an indicating solution to visualize hydrogen and oxygen molecules in water.

In this hands-on activity, learners make the world's simplest Cartesian diver, using only a plastic bottle, some water, and a condiment packet.

In this activity, learners conduct an experiment to find the volume of one mole of gas. Learners capture sublimated gas from dry ice in a ziploc bag and use water displacement to measure its volume.

In this activity, learners use simple items to construct a device for indicating air pressure changes.

In this activity, learners determine whether thermal energy can be used for work.

This online simulation game explores the different consequences of water levels on the Columbia River in the Pacific Northwest.

With a coffee filter, a black marker, and a cup of water, discover the secret colors hidden in black ink.

In this activity, learners discover how a super-absorbing material can be used to move a straw.

In this activity, learners play with surprising sand that doesn’t get wet! Learners explore how water behaves differently when it comes in contact with "magic sand" and regular sand.

In this demonstration, learners observe the effects of density and pressure. A "diver" constructed out of a piece of straw and Blu-Tack will bob inside a bottle filled with water.

In this activity, learners explore how the application of nano-sized "whiskers" can protect clothing from stains.

In this quick and easy activity and/or demonstration, learners illustrate the effect of the weight of air over our heads.

Create gas with a glass of water, some wire, conductors and a battery! You will be separating water (H2O) into oxygen and hydrogen.
